Connecting to Model EZ135A SyQuest drives

I have a few EZ135 drives kicking around here - Two parallel ones that I can find, and an IDE one that I can't at the moment - so I can't verify that it exactly the same model as you mentioned, but it probably is. The IDE drive is a true IDE drive, and you can talk to it without special drivers - I used to use one as a boot drive at one point. There are a couple of caveats however: 1) IIRC the drive does not detect/report itself correctly, and you need to set up a manual drive type. According to the manual (which I did find), the settings are: Heads: 16 Cylinders: 512 Sectors/Track: 32 Write Precomp: 0 Landing Zone: 0 (Obviously these don't match the physical layout!) 2) You can't remove the cartridge without the EZ135 drivers - otherwise it is not known as a removable device. So make sure the disk is inserted at boot time and remains in the drive until you shutdown. In case you want them, I have placed ImageDisk images of the EZ135 IDE install disks (I found those too!) at: www.dunfield.com/pub/index.htm Regards, Dave -- dave06a (at) Dave Dunfield dunfield (dot) Firmware development services & tools: www.dunfield.com com Collector of vintage computing equipment: http://www.classiccmp.org/dunfield/index.html
